Yeah, very much feels like we’re still setting the stage for things to come and establishing characters and plots. I think pretty much everyone was uncomfortable with the scenes of King Viserys and Lord Corlys’s daughter. Even if you view it through the lens of medieval standards, you still feel uncomfortable to the point that you expect Chris Hansen to pop up out of nowhere and say, “Hi there. Why don't you take a seat right over there... WHAT are you doing?” Thus far favorite character is between Otto and Rhaenys, though Corlys and Daemon are close to it as well. King Viserys deciding to marry Alicent is something I suspected we were headed to. Like you observed though one is king, there is still a certain amount of people pleasing that King Viserys isn’t considering all that much. Then again, we’re talking about the Targaryens, they pretty much do whatever the fuck they want. Though Rhaenyra does resolve the egg situation without bloodshed, if I were King Viserys, I would have been a bit more upset with her for just flying off the way she did. As far as he knew, he had no reason to think that Daemon wouldn’t have killed her, and neither did she, at least not with absolute certainty. I’d have even said to her, “Well, the next time you get a wild hair to hop on the dragon, fly off and play John Wayne, you might want to tell a few people first. This could have gone down a whole lot different.” Favorite scene of the episode was the sassfest that was had with Rhaenys and Rhaenyra. A thought occurs that the show is building towards wanting us to root for Rhaenyra to sit on the throne as Queen, and I’m getting the feeling that she’s doomed to fail. Mind you, it’s been some time since I've sat down to watch Game of Thrones, but if memory serves, Cersei was the first actual Queen of the seven kingdoms; the first woman to be crowned Queen. Therefore, I'm starting to sense that Rhaenyra’s ambitions may be something of a forgone conclusion, and not in a way that will be good for her. Now, another thought occurs that maybe Rhaenyra does become Queen somewhere down the line in this show, but the future historians of Westeros chose not to record it in a of history being written by the oppressors sort of thing. So, it’ll be interesting to see how it goes. I also really loved the scene where Corlys talks with Daemon. Particularly I related to his speaking about how second sons have to fight much harder to earn their place in the world, to which I was nodding my head in agreement saying, “Ain’t that the goddamn truth.” I’m loving your reactions to this show thus far. No worries if you’re struggling with the names. As I said on youtube, it was nice to see and hear that you’re at the very least a little bit better, and I hope your recovery from covid continues to go well. Best wishes, Jess.

The guy whose family tree is a flat circle was uncomfortable with the idea of marrying that girl. Just think about that one.
